Every time I go on a roadtrip, I have pain in my stomach. Rather, my intestines. I always get some sort of throbbing pain and I don't think I have enough fiber intake.

My dad tells me it's my lifestyle [I don't eat well, I will admit, but I am NOT anorexic]--I get up late and don't eat well, etc.
but why does it always give me pain/diarrhea sometimes?

I don't understand.
I'm not anemic but I did drop some weight [going from a size 11 to a size 4-6].

you anything? i have had alot of trauma and victimization and abuse throughout my life. iam 30 now and have ptsd, bpd and rage and anger problems, iam now, waiting for therapy. but the biggest problem above the other problems i got, is anger. and misdirecting it. i know that it originates from my traumatic past and supressed anger and unresolved anger due to bullying......so i know of where it comes from.....i have improved greatly with it over years, but as an adult i still struggle with the feelings, rage feelings, that if your not carefull, control you..
things can easily trigger these feelings, if i feel certain people are getting at me personally, mind games, insinuating indirectly at you, condesending behaviour from certain people...a percieved hostile glance, my perception about the world caused from trauma...all these things can trigger misdirected anger & rage feelings..& basically i want to learn how to finally defeat this problem..
can anyone relate or advise?

I have been having dreams of me near dying, (someone chasing me, trying to kill me) but I always wake up right before I am suppose to die. It is really scary because I always wake up paranoid and scared. What do you think it means?
I appreciate your feedback. Thanks!

I'v been with my boyfriend for about a year and we've been having sex for about 7 months now and the first time was unbelievably painful and i bled quite a bit for the first couple times (which i know is normal for some girls due to the hymen breaking). However, each and every time we have sex it still hurts quite a bit during entry, and is not pleasant the entire time. Then after it stings and burns, and this happens no matter how much foreplay we have or how turned on i am. I'm guessing this might be because of lack of lubrication, but if anyone knows any other reason why this is happening please tell me if you can. Also does sex actually feel good for some people? and how can i make it feel good?

If you're lactose intolerant and you drink milk and you're unable to digest it, does that mean you don't get the nutritional benefits like the protein or calcium?

I was wondering what all fruits have in common. Every time I eat fruits like bananas, strawberries, avocados, etc, my lips and/or throat itch. I think I have food allergies, but I'm not quite sure. Sometimes when I eat tofu the same thing happens too, and soy. I REALLY love the taste of fruits, but I can't eat them, and that's a big let down. I was just wondering what ingredients in the fruits makes my lips/throat itch. Thanks for your time, I appreciate it.

My question is lets say right now I do have diabetes but I do not know because I havnt been checked...so if I have diabetes right now and basically do nothing about it because I do not know I have diabetes. What will evenutally happen? Will I like wake up tommorrow in pain and go to the hospital? Will I like have a seizure? Or what will happen to me so then for exmaple I get a stroke and I go to the hospital they do blood work then find out...so what acutally happens to someone who has diabetes and doesn't know? Someone told me this which I think is true because I am always scared thinking I have diabetes and other stuff he said "If you had diabetes which you thought you had for almost 3 months you would know you had diabetes something would have been happened."
Thank you all very very much and take care.

I can never remember anything, I can never remember what I did yestarday, I don't remember what I did last week, or even last year. I remember certain events, things that have had an impact on my life, other than that..Nothing. I can't even remember what I had for dinner last night.
I'm 20 years old, I feel like i'm 60...I feel like i'm crazy.
I'm always losing things, sometimes even big things. I have to search my keys before I go anywhere, I had a certain spot, specifically for my keys, but I forgot where the spot was...

Why can't I remember anything?
Is there something wrong with me?

Ive heard this will drop down a slight bit when you are going to start your period but how much does it usually drop down? How long should it usually be when you arnt on your period? Should it kinda disappear away into the vagina?

I think BCP's have 3 weeks of active pills, an 1 week of inactive pills, sugar pills. When using this type of birth control, when do you have your period.

Ive been taking Depo for 9 months now, meaning ive had 3 shots of it so far. But for the past 3 months since my last shot ive been bleeding every single day. And this isnt a small amount. Its like im starting a new period everyday with large amounts of blood.

I thought that depo would either stop periods all togather or i would only have a period every 3 months?? Not EVERYDAY!!

Is this normal? Or is depo just not working for me and i should try something else??
